Millionaire harry whatshisfave has a brass neck demanding funding for hi s security, what a freeloading scum bag.

I’m near enough unsure.

I am, however, applauding the creative use of the semi colon. We don’t see enough of it in this day and age

The t-rexing in the supermarket… works every time!

Nah, that one clearly had a cunning plan.

This one, well - OP, have you ever thought of writing some war poetry?

Getting this one to 1,000 posts will be a struggle.

No, you're thinking of Sharon who was a wellness coach. Not Sharon who coached wells. It's easy to get them mixed up though.

There's a definite shortage of sexy men doing T Rex in Asda.

Life’s too short to be arsed with this bollocks.
